Wait a minute, so we finally have the “luxury” (using the word very circumstantially) to have Matt Holliday, Colby Rasmus, and Jon Jay in the outfield andddd we’re using Brown and sitting Rasmus. Don’t get me wrong Brown looks like a good addition to the club, but now is not the time to “see if it works out” for him.

Rasmus is in a deep slump (2-for-21, 9-for-56, 19-for-109). TLR didn’t feel like sending him out there against Cliff Lee would do anything but bury him even further in the slump. Doesn’t seem like a bad idea to me.

Not really a rumor. I’ve reported several times on Freese and that about fits in. Last week, he said he hoped to join the team on the BAL-TB trip, and that starts on Tuesday. No guarantee that’ll be the exact day, but it’s a reasonable estimate.
